Hall, G. Emlen

Four leagues of Pecos: a legal history of the Pecos grant 1800-1933 G. Emien Hall - Albuquerque, New Mexico Univ. of N.M. Press 1984 - 367 p.

Water law, water politics, and especially water shenanigans are at the centre of this book about New Mexico and Texas dividing the Pecos River. It is part memoir, part biography, and part environmental history, part the history of hydrology, and part a contribution to the annals of litigation in the great tradition of Anthony Lewis and Jonathan Harr.
